Not sure that this has been posted here, been busy and not paying attention to email the last couple of days. Anyway, Marisa Rositol found a Black-throated Gray Warbler at National Colonial Farm in Prince George's County on Friday, late in the afternoon. It was observed off an on all day Saturday, 10/29 and has been reported again there this morning. This is a rare bird anywhere in Maryland and appears to be the 9th state record and a first for PG County. Kudos to Marisa for this awesome find!

See eBird checklists below for comments on location. Note that the park doesn't open until 7 am, a moot point for today.

Black-throated Gray Warbler (Setophaga nigrescens) (1) CONFIRMED
- Reported Oct 29, 2022 12:52 by Jacob Hall
- National Colonial Farm, Prince George's, Maryland
- Comments: "Continuing bird. I searched the cedars for a while and then some other birders found it. I rushed over to find it hover gleaning like a kinglet in the short cedars in the field to the east of the barn, near but not associating with juncos and kinglets. It was surprisingly elusive even at close range, one moment in plain sight and completely obscured the next. Pic pending."

Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus) (1)
- Reported Oct 29, 2022 09:00 by Charlotte Friend
- Fort Frederick SP--Big Pool, Washington, Maryland
- Comments: "I was surprised when this bird flew so close to me.  I had a very good look.  At first, I thought it was a rose-breasted grosbeak until I thought they were probably gone.  The more I thought about it, the more I was sure it was a female grosbeak, not a purple finch.  The head plumage was very sharply defined with a large white supercilium and white under the large black oval patch around the ear.  The wingbars were very fine, and there was light streaking on the underparts.  There was a blush of yellowish color under part of the breast streaking.  A large bill."
